As a
member of the Congregation of Irish Sisters of Mercy, it has been my privilege
to serve the Holy Infant Catholic School community for over four decades – to
watch its growth and development and to accompany so many students on their
educational and spiritual journeys. One
thing that has never changed is the swell of emotion that I feel when I walk
our school hallways in the mornings and hear students and teachers praying
together during their “Spiritual Bonding Time”.
After reciting their formal prayers, the students pray for their needs
and the needs of others, from grandma’s knee surgery to the new puppy at
home. I am grateful to have the honor of
assisting parents in nurturing the faith dimension of their children’s lives
as, together, we strive to teach as Jesus did – in faith, with love and
respect.
Partnering
with parents, we challenge students to engage in learning that will prepare
them to take their place successfully in the twenty-first century. To that end, instructional technology is
incorporated into classroom instruction at all levels. SmartBoards and MimioTeach Interactive
Whiteboards are used in most classrooms and teachers in all grades will have
access to our new iPad mobile lab.
Thank you
for your interest in Holy Infant Catholic School. We welcome you as “companions on the
journey”. We ask for God’s blessing as we continue our tradition of excellence
in preparing our youth for the journey of a lifetime.
Philosophy
Holy Infant Catholic School, a co-educational community, is committed to the
development of the whole person in an atmosphere of faith, love and respect.
We believe that the purpose of Catholic education is to teach children to understand
the Christian message and to imitate Christ's life of love and service. Our
commitment is founded and best expressed in the following statement
Be it known to all
who enter here that
Christ is the reason for this school,
The unseen, but ever-present
teacher in its classes, the model
of its faculty, the inspiration
of its students.
